Caught the Cleaner Shrimp browsing the dendros this morning. Moved to QT. 2 juvies ripped apart. Done. Sigh...

I loved my decorator, but after he killed my tailspot...

I was thinking about sending him to the fuge to let him live with my decorator. But meh, I'll trade him to LFS or suttin.

Sorry I missed the photo contest. Should have let me know. I been busy and had no time to keep up on threads.

Corals are looking great and happy to see the growth
All good. They havent chosen finalists or anything yet. It runs all month.

Yea it seems moving the frags to racks has really allowed them to not be bothered by anything and just settling in well. Stability = growth.

Bonsai has overgrown the original plug and heading for the new one I glued on last week... new corralites growing up from the base. Looks to be settled finally and ready to take off.

Sorry that you lost the juvies... glad that the SPS is all looking pretty good though, that's something, at least.

I knew a mixed reef was the hardest. Which is why I chose to do it :)

Thanks guys. There isnt much more satisfying than seeing sps growing and colored. Finally.

You must be my reefing brother from another mother, a happy mixed reef is a great accomplishment! :)

Slept 3 hours last night and worked 12 today.

New Hampshire frag swap is tomorrow. Meeting @Fudsey there and hoping I can get @Raege away from his tank for a day, but the situation is understandable if not. Family 1st. Always. <3 @Scurvy is dodging me but I'd love to see him as well.

I will be returning with upgrades, and a few pieces. Glad I got the zoas fragged when I did. Coral = Currency.

Looking forward to my 1st frag swap. Cheers all.

Awesome pics!
Thanks mike.

I am packing up frags and macro for trades today. Will have to figure out how to reconfigure the sump to hold a jb4 doser. Also grabbing a 10pc black Zen Reef magnetic rack. This will be for my left Hydra to start another stick rack.

I am also bringing home some new pieces... so cool to finally start mingling with the local hobbyists and spreading the love.

It's over around 3. So unless i stop in at Keith's before heading home, yall may have open coral photos later tonight :)
